The challenge
Presols offers long-term, high-quality and sustainable products and solutions for both business and retail segments. Aware of the shift in preferences and attitudes of the general public towards hygiene following the impact of COVID-19, and concerned about the major environmental impact of disposable masks, Presols sought to become a holistic provider of preventative hygiene products. This includes offering their customers high-quality washable, reusable and customisable facemasks. Â
Having partnered with manufacturers across each of their product lines, and now at the point of generating revenue and breaking-even, additional revenue was needed to take the business to its next stage of growth.
The solution
It was at this point that the team at Presols applied for Startup Funding having been connected to Virgin Startup by Swoop. The Swoop team also helped Presols assess their FX exposure and identify how they could be charged less FX fees for every inventory order made in dollars.
The results
Presols was able to use the funds to finance inventory purchase, enabling further growth for the business as the team continues to achieve great results like receiving Amazon’s Choice for one of their face mask collection.
